By Isabella, 3rd year BSc Accounting & Finance My name is Isabella, and I first came to Lancaster in October 2018, just over a month after receiving my A Level results.   I attended a sixth form in South East London where I studied Maths, Economics and Geography. I was certain in school that I wanted to study Accounting and Finance at university, and that I wanted to move North, so this definitely impacted my decision when it came to applying. When I originally applied, Lancaster hadn’t been a university which I had considered and was neither my firm nor ..read more

By Klaudia – BSc Management and MSc International Business and Strategy My Lancaster experience started in 2017 and I only realised it would become real a month before coming here!

Dr Radka Newton, Programme Director, shares her experience of teaching Strategy on the MSc Management. I have always enjoyed teaching the Strategic Management module. Discussing strategic moves of various companies, scrutinising their decisions, successes and failures and learning to apply a plethora of analytical tools and models to improve my decision-making techniques. This time I knew it would be different. The well-rehearsed case studies just seemed too boring and out of date and the new ones were only just being written in the midst of the pandemic. My fascination with the disruption of ..read more
